This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

"The GOP promises to hold a vote to extend subsidies" is just "The Roadrunner has painted a tunnel on the side of this mountain" but in a different font.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

just a second. did you all know that Zohran Mamdani is MIRA NAIR'S SON? Mira "made the movie Monsoon Wedding" Nair?
all this time I have not been knowing that he is someone who *understands the value of the arts*?
(I shared a cab to Mexico City airport with her once. She's great.)

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

I really hope the reveal is just that Piggy’s next in line to play Mary Todd Lincoln.
For the movie version of “Oh Mary.” Never has there been a more perfect match of actor (muppet) and role.

Also “tried royal patience” is the best we can do as well?
Uh, “antics” is not the word choice I’d have gone with to describe the behavior of one of Epstein’s besties, but hey… you do you @apnews.com.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Just learned that Tim Blake Nelson has a degree in the classics from Brown University and, y’all, I think George Clooney just got bumped down to third hottest protagonist from “O Brother Where Art Thou.” (John Turturro is obviously #1 for reasons that need no explanation.)

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
